Fella Makafui arrested
Actress and businesswoman Precious Fella Makafui has been arrested for allegedly selling unregistered products to the public. Her arrest was carried out by investigative documentary firm ISPYGH 247, in partnership with the Pharmacy Council Ghana, on May 22, 2024.
Fella was taken into custody for her involvement in illegal activities related to the distribution of unregistered drugs, as well as for false advertising and promoting unapproved products without authorization from the FDA. After a six-month surveillance operation monitoring her social media posts on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, lead investigator Akwasi Koranteng and his team collected evidence of her unlawful actions.
Upon her arrest, a variety of products including Fertility Tea, Butt and Hips Enlargement Syrup, Butt and Hip Enlargement Oil, and other items were confiscated from her shop in Mempeasem. Fella confessed that many of the products she sold were not registered with the FDA.
She was granted bail while further investigations are conducted. This joint effort aims to protect the public from potentially harmful products and uphold pharmaceutical standards. Updates on the case will be provided as they become available.
